How well do PHI homers feel Mills and Robinson will match-up against KB and Funchess?
Insein
Footballguy
Robinson has been playing way better than anyone thought he could at this stage of his career and Mills is fearless. I think they can hold their own against bigger WRs. It's the speedy guys that usually burn them. They've been keeping every thing in front of them and making plays this year.
That said, when the game is over they could have played well and KB or Funchess could have 6 or 7 catches for close to 100 yds. So who knows.

The closest comp I can find is BMarsh who turned in a 8/66 line against what I'm assuming was Mills. But yeah, I keep reading that they should match-up well vs. bigger/slower receivers. I'd still have a hard time sitting either against a secondary who has given up so many points to WRs, especially over the last three weeks.

I wouldn't sit them if you own them. Cause the Eagles have had lapses but not as many as last year. Mills seems to get better every week.
On a side note I can't imagine what the defense will look like next year when we have Darby, Sid Jones, Mills and Douglas as our CBs.

Sports radio host was saying that this week is a good matchup for the Eagles CBs,............... more so than the previous weeks.......... as the Eagles CBs should be able to keep up with them in the speed department. Eagles have CBs who are slower. That being said...he felt the Eagles CBs would be battling for jump balls all night and success in that dept. would determine their success.

Probably the only time you and I are on opposite sides!
I'm admittedly concerned, though, with the injuries, esp. Lane Johnson, after what happened during last year's suspension.

The Panthers are still without their starting center, Kalil. I imagine the Eagles will get to Cam a time or two. The Panthers starting safety, Coleman, is still out as well.

Jeffrey should be much more favorable matchup than the past several weeks. Has had several top CBs on him.

agreed, depends partly on Carolina's line. If Eagles bring usual pressure, they should be fine. If CAR figures out how to handle it, things could get a little rough.

Fletcher Cox is being called a GTD. Didn't think he had a chance to play. Is this legit or coach speak?

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that if PHI is able to pressure Cam that the WRs will be fine or won't be fine?
A lot of Funchess' success has come during blitzes for whatever that's worth.

Lord help me, I am compelled to start Wentz tonight. My normal starter is on the by, and Wentz has been superior regardless.
Thursday night football has mostly been the suck, The Carolina Panthers defense is legitimate.
I guess I’ll hope for two touchdowns and 300 yards as a ceiling? Ugh

I’ve got no choice. I mean, I guess I could pick up Brian Hoyer and start them at the Redskins on Sunday, but that seems just as bad and most likely much much worse.

Really impressed by the Eagles this year, have definitely earned their record and their ranking as a top contender in the NFC.
Super interesting matchup for all reasons mentioned. @Long Ball Larry, I think you peg this absolutely right. I have less faith in the Eagles’ secondary as they’ve been torched in yards the past 2-3 weeks, but they are more solid up front and can be downright fearsome in pass rush.
This aspect of the game will either help them control the game and make CAR one-sided...or it’s going to be another impressive big night for Funchess.

Big potential boost for #Eagles: DLs Fletcher Cox (calf) & Beau Allen (foot) are both pushing to play, I’m told. To be monitored in warmups.

#Eagles DLs Fletcher Cox and Beau Allen are both active. That’s good news for Philly.

Go for it. I benched Blount (for Lynch), so I am sure he'll have a great game.

I'm with you. I avoid Thursday players when I can, but my other QB is Mariota, who may not playHot Sauce Guy said:

Smallwood is out, so that could help Blount.
